Avengers #59 🔑

1st Appearance - Yellowjacket (Hank Pym)

Avengers Vol. 1 #59, published in December 1968, is a major Silver Age key issue featuring the first appearance of Yellowjacket, the newest superhero identity of longtime Avenger Hank Pym. After previously appearing as Ant-Man, Giant-Man, and Goliath, Pym dramatically reintroduces himself—now boasting a new costume, new powers, and a new personality.

This story is packed with twists: Yellowjacket claims to have defeated Goliath and insists on joining the team. Even more shocking? A sudden marriage proposal to Janet Van Dyne (The Wasp) that leaves the Avengers stunned. The issue ends with a major cliffhanger that sets up a pivotal character reveal in Avengers #60.

Written by Roy Thomas and illustrated by John Buscema, this comic is a cornerstone in Hank Pym’s ever-evolving and emotionally complex legacy.
